Think of "access" this way:
1. The runner must be able to reach the base. A quarter inch will not be enough, but it is possible to block part of the base and still allow access. Umpire judgment will be required.
2. The access allowed does NOT have to be the runner's "preferred" access: if the fielder allows access, and the runner ends up touching only shoe, I'm calling the out not OBS.
